Green Party Finishes its First Petition So Far in 2016

The last time the Green Party completed a petition to be on the 2016 ballot for President was in the fall of 2015, when it completed its Arkansas presidential petition. The Nevada Green Party seems likely to be the first state Green Party to finish a petition during calendar year 2016. It has approximately 9,000 signatures and will submit the petition on June 1 or June 2. The legal requirement is 5,431. The Nevada Green Party got significant help from some individuals who had been working for the Bernie Sanders campaign, and who became angry with the recent Democratic delegate selection process in Nevada.

Green Party Finishes its First Petition So Far in 2016 — 4 Comments

  1. Wow this would be the first time since 2000 or 2004 that the Green Party had a Presidential candidate on the ballot in Nevada?

  2. Cynthia McKinney was on in Nevada in 2008. The party went off the ballot in November 2010 because it didn’t poll enough votes, and has been off since then.

  3. When do you think we will know when they got ballot access? I assume they’ll have to change their maps. Increasing from 21 to 22 isn’t much but it is finally a start.
